Changelog
lintian (2.5.0~rc3ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #769101). Remaining changes:
- Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file in Ubuntu due to CDBS.
- Add no-upstream-changelog tag to cruft-general-test-suite,
cruft-general-upstream, cruft-upstream-binaries, fields-no-homepage,
patch-systems-no-patch-system tests.
- checks/changelog-file.desc, t/tests/legacy-libbaz/tags,
testset/tags.libbaz: Drop debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink tag.
- t/tests/changelog-file-symlink, t/tests/init.d-symlink: Drop these tests.
- checks/init.d: fix LP: #496798 again; upstream only took part of our
patch and the rest of the fix was dropped in the last merge; per
maintainer's comments in Debian bug #569492, Ubuntu will need to
carry this fix for the time being
- Add wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog tag to changelog-file-extra-upstream
test.
- Prefer libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93) to perl (>= 5.12).
- t/tests/fields-multi-arch: Do not test invalid Multi-Arch field,
because dpkg-deb will already fail.
- Drop debug-symbols-directly-in-usr-lib-debug from binaries-general.
* private/runtests: Fix typo NO_PKG_MAGNGLE -> NO_PKG_MANGLE.
* binaries-general test: Remove unknown -ph flag from gcc 4.6 call.

* checks/*.desc:
+ [NT] Updated the Needs-Info field to include the new
collections where needed.
* checks/binaries:
+ [NT] Accepted patch from Loïc Minier to support the armhf
architecture. (Closes: #618587)
+ [NT] Drop wrong checks for multiarch directories. Multiarch
directories are only allowed in packages of the given architecture.
Thanks to Steve R. Langasek for the patch.
* checks/circular-deps{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added to check for circular dependencies between
binaries from the same source. It requires all binaries
packages to be present as well as the source package to be
effective. Thanks to Bill Allombert for the suggestion.
(Closes: #316283)
* checks/debhelper:
+ [NT] Use new alt-dh_commands data file to fetch alternative
dependencies for dh_commands, which are sometimes provided
indirectly by meta or API packages.
* checks/fields:
+ [NT] Do not emit needless-dependency-on-jre for libX-gcj
packages and only emit the tag at most once per package.
Thanks to Rene Engelhard for the report.
(Closes: #622396)
* checks/files{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added dir-or-file-in-run tag. (Closes: #623031)
+ [NT] New tag missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support,
Severity: serious, to warn when a package installs libraries to the
multiarch directory without taking care of upgrades. Thanks to
Steve R. Langasek for the patch.
* checks/java{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added file based on patches submitted by Vicent Fourmond.
This new file checks for jar files in weird locations.
(Closes: #620829, #575447)
* checks/manpages:
+ [NT] Fixed false-positive binary-without-manpage when the
manpage is in a direct dependency of the package and the
package is checked together with its dependency.
(Closes: #120323)
* checks/scripts:
+ [NT] Fixed false positive missing-dep-for-interpreter, if
the interpreter was dash, since dash is now essential.
(Closes: #620120)
* checks/symlinks{,.desc}:
+ [NT] New file that checks for broken symlinks. A symlink
is considered broken if it does not exist in the package
itself or in its direct dependecies. Since only absolute
symlinks are checked at the moment, this only partly
fixes #217023.
* collection/*.desc:
+ [NT] Updated the Needs-Info field to include the new
collections where needed.
* collection/{bin-pkg-control,fields,index}{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added to replace various unpack scripts.
* collection/java-info{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Accepted patch from Vincent Fourmond to implement
Java related data collection.
* data/binaries/multiarch:
+ [NT] Removed by patch from Steve R. Langasek.
* data/debhelper/alt-dh_commands:
+ [NT] New file; contains alternative dependencies for
dh_python2 and dh_python3. (Closes: #614879)
* data/fields/architectures:
+ [NT] Updated to include armhf.
* data/files/triplets:
+ [NT] Updated to include armhf triplet.
+ [NT] Refresh with the final approved multiarch paths by patch
from Steve R. Langasek.
* data/output/manual-references:
+ [NT] Accepted patch from Vincent Fourmond to add the links
to the Java Policy.
* data/spelling/corrections:
+ [NT] Added a lot of spelling mistakes with corrections.
Kudos to Kevin Ryde for these. (Closes: #619075)
* data/spelling/corrections-multiword:
+ [NT] Removed "helps to" as a spelling mistake. Thanks to
Nicholas Bamber for the report. (Closes: #622124)
* data/standards-version/release-dates:
+ [NT] Added 3.9.2 as the newest Standards-Version. Thanks to
Sven Joachim for the report. (Closes: #621667)
* debian/control:
+ [NT] Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.2.
+ [NT] Updated Build-Depends for debiandoc -> docbook change of
the manual.
+ [NT] Added missing Build-Depends on libhtml-parser-perl. Also
added it to suggests, since it is used for XML output.
* debian/{docs,rules}:
+ [NT] Updated to use/install docbook instead of debiandoc.
* doc/lintianrc.example:
+ [NT] Removed reference to LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL.
* doc/lintian.sgml:
+ [RG] Removed file - replaced by doc/lintian.xml.
* doc/lintian.xml:
+ [RG] Added to migrate away from debiandoc. (Closes: #587925)
* frontend/lintian:
+ [NT] Removed the deprecated --unpack-level argument. Only
two unpack levels were available and they were equal to
the --remove and --unpack options.
+ [NT] Stopped accepting the environment/config variables
LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL and LINTIAN_SECTION. The former is
redundant as explained above and the latter was deprecated
in favor of LINTIAN_AREA.
+ [NT] Refactored the frontend to group packages together based
on their source package. This allows for cross-package checks.
(Closes: #513663)
* lib/{Lab/Package,Lintian/Processable*}.pm:
+ [NT] Added files to assist in package grouping.
* lib/Lintian/Command/Simple.pm:
+ [NT] Added support for chanding directory before running the
command.
* lib/Lintian/Collect.pm,lib/Lintian/Collect/*.pm:
+ [NT] Removed assumption that all the information handled by
these are available in the current directory.
* lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
+ [NT] Removed file, replaced by Lintian::ProcessablePool.
* private/refresh-archs:
+ [SRL] update to output directory mappings based on DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH
instead of DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE.
* private/runtests:
+ [NT] Added support for dumping build logs if a test fails.
(Closes: #621658)
+ [NT] Disabled pkgbinarymangler during tests. (Closes: #621681)
* t/tests/binaries-from-other-arch:
+ [NT] Accepted patch from Benjamin Drung to accept i686-linux-gnu
as a valid triplet. This fixes test failure in Ubuntu.
(Closes: #622974)
* unpack/unpack-{binpkg,changes}-l1:
